Giorgio Armani Si Rose Eau de Parfum

Yesterday Giorgio Armani Si Rose Eau de Parfum launched - perfectly in time and suited to Mother's Day no less, and I was lucky enough to receive a beautiful bottle to try out for myself. If you are a fan of either rose based fragrances or any of the Giorgio Armani Si scents, this one to seek out next time you are in close vicinity to a fragrance counter.

Unlike past editions of Giorgio Armani Si, the Giorgio Armani Si Rose Eau de Parfum bottle is ever so slightly more special due to the pretty, pale pink ribbon accent. It almost hints that the scent inside will be soft, delicate and romantic yet sophisticate - as does the subtle peach tint of the perfume, all of which it is. Out of all the Giorgio Armani Si fragrances I have tried to date (two), this is the most youthful and fresh addition, it just screams Spring in my opinion and is very clean - if you are looking for a gentle, long wearing, everyday fragrance this could be a very real option.

Si Rose features the signature top note of Blackcurrant Liqueur that is present throughout the entire Si range, however this time around it is softend by a duo of Freesia and Osmanthus Absolute for a fruity-floral fusion beautiful complimented by a hint of Apricot. It is soft, fruity and oh-so floral, perfectly suited for the upcoming Spring and Summer months. Now as this is a rose based fragrance it does of course contain rose based heart notes: Rose de Mai Absolute (another Si Signature note) intermingles with sweet Turkish Rose, to create an uplifting, fresh and never powdery nor dated rose based scent, that lingers on the skin yet never overwhelms. At the base there is a blend of Patchouli, Iris and Vanilla, which fuse together to add a hint of romance and of course to ensure the scent has plenty of lasting power.

It truly is beautiful and one that I can imagine will appeal to many and perhaps evolve into a signature scent - it is not limited edition which is always a relief. Or in a similar vain if you are a fan of the original Giorgio Armani Si fragrance line up and crave something a little fresher and generally gentler, this will be a very welcomed addition to your fragrance wardrobe.
